ARIBO ORIGIN STORY

Corey Clothier co-created ARIBO with the late, great Jim Overholt, the Army’s “Chief Roboticist” in 2011.

ARIBO was built as a national “Living Laboratory” for ground mobile robotics testing and demonstrations. ARIBO aligned military, public sector, and commercial ground vehicle robotics R&D.

The original ARIBO focus areas were similar to early commercial deployments that are starting now, such as, campus based service applications like low-speed logistics, inspection and security. The program developed an international team of collaborators and developed one of the 1st Level-4 autonomous pilots in the US. One of the notable highlights is that ARIBO was endorsed by the White House and we were invited to present to the White House and legislative leadership.
